Of Course the Owners have a strong hand. That is a Captain Obvious Statement if I ever heard one. I will leave with the following: I find it amusing many fail to see any benefit to the players of the tag system. Anyone that even loosely follows contract negotiations knows differently. Go back to ea...

I find it a bit ironic how many of you hate the Franchise Tag. In the earlier CBA it was only allowed to be used one time. THE PLAYERS UNION AGREED to THE FRANCHISE TAG RULES. This was not an oversight by the players union as some of you obviously think; This was by design. Ask yourself why they di...

How does a top 4 deal at worst not benefit the player? If that's the worst case scenario for the player, that isnt terrible. I agree that it benefits the team as well. But this isnt all bad for the player. Again, if you are the highest paid player at your position for a year, how do you not benefit...

You do realize the entire point of the tag is to prevent a player from being able to test the market to determine their value? If a team is willing to tag and pay per the guidelines of the tag, it is because it is to the team's advantage....period. The franchise tag also benefits the player by lock...

From the Beast: "The franchise tag is team friendly, which is why they use it so often. Teams should have to work out contracts with their players that both sides agree on. The franchise tag is complete BS as it dis-incentivizes teams from actually having to put in the hard work to create a deal th...

What stands out to me is Trubisky. He has been resoundingly crucified by many in these forums with only a few notable exceptions. The reality is he is rapidly improving in a new offense and is around QB 5-6 in many formats. What is more impressive is he has accomplished this while ARob has been a gh...

Just lol at putting Cooks in the same tier as Alshon, Tate and Baldwin. He's 25. I said Value Tier not production. But if you want to look at the last 3 years of them both to compare, lets see!! 2015-2016-2017 I'm rounding yards Cooks 2015-16-17 84-1130-9 78-1170-8 65-1080-7 Tate 90-830-6 91-1070-4...

One of the primary excuses Gruden gave for not signing Mack was they could not pay both a QB and Mack. If Carr is moved this offseason, it tells me Gruden has absolutely no plan and is simply lying about everything. Not signing Mack could be justified if Gruden came into the situation with the inten...

Have you watched Ryan Fitzpatrick throughout his career? This is what he does - he gets hot for a couple games and then completely comes off the rails. I doubt we have seen the last of Winston this season - it is literally only a matter of time before Fitzpatrick reminds us he is not that good. He ...

Being fixated on what is 'Mainstream' is pointless. The reason I mentioned that mainstream media are now coming to the conclusion that Winston is a bust is because they typically are late to the party for fear of taking a stance on anything a la every 'follow the herd' analyst on the networks. The p...

Considering all of his past issues including being late for meetings with the Browns, this is a terrible sign for Gordon owners. If a player cannot be on time for Belichick, then he simply does not care enough about his career(still)...

Mainstream media is starting to recognize what has been apparent for a very long time. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2803229-jameis-winston-is-a-major-bust-and-the-bucs-must-move-on-from-2015-no-1-pick?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_medium=referral I didnt know Bleacher Report ...
